For Pachi the data has already been posted by Jean-Loup, and for Fuego there is also a published ceiling according to the scaling study in the (free download) paper from Richard Segal on BlueFuego (someone sent out a link within the last two weeks, too lazy to check who). Being limited to Linux rules my cpu's out, otherwise I wouldn't mind donating some cores. Also, if David is willing to donate executables to the study, I don't see why that's not acceptable, i.e., that's as good as "free" to me.
I am running a mini-scaling experiment on CGOS 9x9 right now using the AMAF standard bots (as originally implemented by Don Dailey) with and without edge-move veto's. They now have all received about 10,000 games, I should stop it and summarize the data (this experiment also confirmed that Elo-ratings converged to below 9 Elo sigma). Each level doubles the number of playouts. Obviously, CGOS time settings won't allow too many doublings before you run out of time, so there is only 6 levels for each configuration. I did find it noteworthy that the ratings in the Bayes-Elo list are more as expected (in that the ranking is what I would expect) as compared to the incremental ones on the server itself.
